GiovanniO Member Sep 23, 2025 #1 Hello everyone. I'm trying to design a project to create an employee time clock. I'd like it to be a two-step process. I already have the second step, but I want the first to be done using a fingerprint reader. Do you know if there's any way to read a fingerprint scanner (store new users, read data) from b4j? Also, keep in mind that I have no Java experience, so a wrapper isn't feasible. Best regards!

Thanks for your reply. I'm free to choose the reader; all I need is one that works. I've been playing around with a Digital Persona 5400, but I couldn't find an SDK or anything similar (at one point, I considered using Visual Basic, although I personally prefer b4j), but I still haven't found an SDK.
